Because we are. > You already knew how and why it would be inflammatory. If you're in the top 10% and can't stand being called privileged then the problem isn't the tone of the accuser, it's the person receiving the comment. The sooner privileged people stop acting like the victims, the sooner we can start fixing the worlds actual problems. > their first sentence (and general tone) is quite counter-productive, and you know this. Actually I was arguing that it's not counter-productive. It was the point of their post and a point very much worth making. I've seen both sides of the social scale and we are definitely not on the side that should be getting offended when people should "privilege" ;)
